[PATCH 02/15] uaccess: Add new copy_from_user_gup API

From: Jiri Olsa
Date: Wed Mar 28 2012 - 08:36:36 EST


This brings a get_user_page_fast() based copy_from_user() that can
do a best effort copy from any context.

In order to support user stack dump safely in perf samples from
generic code, rename x86 copy_from_user_nmi to copy_from_user_gup
and make it generally available. If the arch doesn't provide an
implementation it will map to copy_from_user_inatomic.
